Doctors 'Divorce' Their Hospital System... 90,000+ Patients Follow Them

Doctors – have you ever thought about getting a divorce? As in divorcing your hospital? As in going it alone?  

A lot of doctors have decided to part ways with their hospitals, and it’s a trend that is sweeping across the industry. So what do you do if you're a doctor that does NOT like the way you have to practice within a hospital system? 
 
You essentially have 3 options:  
1. Voice: You can speak up and express your dissent on how you and your patients are being treated by the hospital system. 
2. Exit: You can leave. You can find another job or depending on the circumstances, become an independent physician.  
3. Loyalty: You just go along and make the best of a bad situation.

Dr. Bricker, great video. I have learned so much from you. In fact, in a couple of your prior videos of last year or two, you mentioned DPC doctors. I did not like being treated like Medicare livestock so i signed up with a DPC doctor (who, coincidentally, got her medical degree in Texas) near me last year. I felt like a 1000 pound weight was taken off my shoulders. I hope this trend of physicians going into private practice snowballs.

How do doctor’s who invest in surgery centers they operate in not violate Stark Laws?

Hey, I have a question I got after watching one of your other videos. How did PBM’s operate independently without insurance formulary tier boosts to offer to manufacturers? Did they just function as basic GPO’s for insurances?
